I go up north every moose season and have found that 95% of the people are very friendly and accomodating.
I have had no problems with FN people in fact I hunt with three or four of them.
All of them are employed except one who is an artist ...(drawing CPP) ...ha ha.
Personal bigotry stems from having a problem with one or two people of an other persuation and then painting all of them, in this case natives, with the same brush.In that respect we have all fallen into the same trap.
I have travelled from Mattawa to Lac Soeul to Red Lake to Lake of the Woods and I find, that like "white people" there are some good and versa some bad! I just embrace the good and ignore the bad.
You live in "God's Country" and should be proud of it, be happy that you don't live in an other place.
